    Ok all,

    Right now, the sound will not work for anything on the internet, along with Itunes. Before when I opened itunes it said something like, "There is something wrong with your audio output and stuff may not work" and now Itunes won't even open. Also, where I've gone before to fix the volume on the bottom right icon thingies now says, "There are no active mixer devices available. To add one go to....blah blah"

    Any more info needed tell me

    Thanks, All help is appreciated

    Right click on your My Computer icon, select Properties, then Hardware -> Device Manager. Check your Sound, video and game controllers and see if your audio devices are ok.

    I would visit the Dell site and download the latest drivers for your audio and have them ready if you need to reinstall the drivers.

    I see no Hardware after I open Properties from the My Computer Shortcut :/

    Otherwise, I don't think it has to do with the drivers, because one second it was fine, and the next it messed up.

    Go to your control panel and click on System, then click on Hardware -> Device manager.

    If the drivers are somehow corrupted, you would lose all sorts of functionality.
